JWfctM Pl+/W SSJ r -.*JSsi£a Curcdfa absolute cm, free to amrtuffemi I AT A NEGRO REVIVAL. | Unlettered Men Who Wlwly Expound the Troth. , We were a party of six, all Sunday ' school teachers, all supposed Scriptural experts. One of our number was a re tired American Missionary association, worker and another one had been prepar tag for the foreign mission field when her . health failed her. The flVe of us accepted ’ the invitation of the sixth, our hostess, to • attend a colored revival meeting near by. i We were the only white people in the crowded church. All about us were dusky faces; all around us the inqllow negro voices rang out in characteristic negro re vival songs. The words were trivial, the : choruses but disjointed bits of sentences, but the melody was intoxicating to the senses. Though untuned, what voices; untratasd, without rule, yet with a . strange rhythm and passionate fire that stirred one’s pulses as never operatic aria could! Our dark skinned brethren were of the Christian religion; therefore they were nearer to us than heathen. Nevertheless between us and them rolled a great gulf. They were illiterate, emotional babes in the gospel. They had never beard of the higher criticism and never studied Barnes or Adam Clarke and were not afraid of De Wette or Renan. So we sat there with the patronizing air that human beings are apt to assume when thrown in contact with, mortal*less wise than themselves. Brother Jonah Watkins, a white wooletl, bent bucked man of 70, was called upon to pray. He responded, in nowise over awed by our superior presence. He prayed as though his lips had Indeed been touched bya Jive coal from God’s own altar. "O Lord,The prayed, “thou knowest dis people. Herb we are befo’ de, down on our marrer bones in de lowlands of sorrow. Raise us up, deah Lord, ah stan us up upon our feet upon de mountain tops of glory. An de sinnahs of dis congregation, deah Lord, smite ’em wld de hammah of Jeremiah”— I heard no-more. “The haminah of Jeremiah"—what was it? I had read the prophet Jeremiah through and through, with the Commentaries and Bible diction aries open at evary page, but never a syl lable had lcaught about Jeremiah’s ham mer. What did this bent backed colored man know about Jeremiah that the wire teachers ot the law had overlooked? The question was broached on the homeward walk. Our party had all been struck with the expression, but not one of us six Sun day school teachers had the remotest idea of what Jeremiah’s hammer might be. The next day six men and women read their Bibles, and each of the six began at the first verse of the first chapter of Jere miah. One by one as we reached the twenty-ninth verse of the twenty-third chapter we found wbat we were after. “Is not my word like a fire? salth the Lord, and like a hammer that breaketh the rock In pieces?" Jeremiah’s hammer was God’s word, that was able to break down the flinty resistance of the Indifferent souL Could Scripture reference have been more applicable? And the wonder of aH was that this low barn son of toil, spelling hie text out word by word, should have found the kernel of the meat, while others, with every help at hand, passed over it.— In dependent. ;u' ; ? Nitrogen Traps. We can draw upon the stock of nitrogen in the atmosphere by means of sunlight acting upon and vitalizing leguminous crops, such as clover, vetches and peas. All of these can be grown as “ between crops," so as not to interfere with the reg ular crops. Clovers can be sown In the stubble of small grain or even with the grain seed. Vetches and peas can be sown in standing corn at the last cultivation. The selection of a crop to be used as a nitrogen trap depends largely upon the locality, soil and system of rotation. For states south of the Ohio and Potomao riv ers, the cowpea, crimson clover and sand vetoh are the three most satisfactory. For more northern states, red clover, Canada pea and winter vetoh promise most. - In general any legume known to thrive upon the soil will be satisfactory as a ni trogen trap. When such a legume is once found and adopted, it should be continued year after year, as there crops never give the best results until they have been grown upon the same field for several sea sons—the longer the better. Rye, turnips and othvr nonleguminous crops which are sometimes turned Under are of no value as nitrogen gatherers. All the legumes named, except sand vetoh, make valuable fodder, and their use as fodder does not detract from their value as fertilizers, if fed upon the farm and the resulting ma nure returned to the land. For soils too sandy to produce good clover or winter vetch blue and white lupines and sand vetch are recommended for all but the coldest parts of the United States. The latter three are worthless as fodder.—Cor. Country Gentleman. —w Veedtog Pet Dogs. In small families there is often a good deal of complaint that there are no scraps left over frem the meals to feed the dog. To purchase regularly the biscuits that come ready prepared becomes after awhile a financial tax that may be severely felt by those who have but little means and must make that little go a great way. With a bit of good judgment and care one may provide for this important branch of the family at small expanse. After ths •oup is served there 1» almost always a re siduum at the bottom of the pot. Put this In a kettle and kSepffi in a cool place until a oonsiderobJs quantify of scraps and left over soup accumulates. Pour into this any surplus milk, sweet or sour, that may be on band and place the kettle on the stovs to boll, stirring it frequently, that it may not burn. Then stir in until it is as thick as it can be handled some ground feed, inch as is prepared for farm animals and sold at feed stores. This feed has a quantity of coarse oats in it and should be sifted through an ordinary flour sifter before it is stirred into the soup. Remove the kettle from the fire and when partly cool add one teaspoonful of soda and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder for every four quarts of the batter. It may then be rolled out into biscuits or dropped from a spoon upon greased pans. Bake the cakes until ouite brown in a very hot oven. If packed in a dry place, they will keep in definitely.—Now York Lodger. Not Exact 17 a Subs tit ute. In the course of a morning call on the Rev. Dr. Fourthly the Rev.

SCARED THE RED MEN HOW A CROWD OF CATTLE MEhIJBROKR UP A GHOST DANCE, j) A Roman Candle Bombardment That Stampeded the Three Hundred Braves and Started Them on a Run That Last ed Into the Next Day. “We never called Rooney by the name of Jack, although his Christian name was John,*and in the cattle coun try they was few men named after Christ’s chief disciple who was not known as Jack. We always called him John Rooney. The last I ever heexd of him be were living up In Nebraska, not far from Ogallala, on the south fork of the Platte, just after the stream leaves the Colorado line. ” , Thus discoursed a former cattleman, who is now pursuing a peaceful and commonplace life in Kansas City, the other evening. He was talking of life on the big cattle range in the days when the fame of Dodge City, Abilene, Hayes City and Ellis was on -the wane as tough towns of Kansas and their upbuilding as law abiding oommunities had begun. “In Jktan days,” he continued, “our openings for fun was less frequent than national holidays are at present. It was mostly bard riding, and lots of it It gives us all a sorter yearning to bust loose the cinches and raise hell at the first opportunity, and sometimes the way we did it was as nniqne as they was startling. The time I speak of in this pertlokler yarn we was grazing a big btfnch of Cattle, mostly long horns, in the Cherokee strip, along the north fork of the Canadian river, within a day’s rifling of old Fort Supply. The Osagesand some other tribes used to come ta there for their green corn and harvest dances and have highfallootin ole times in general. We all remarks this and speaks of it sorter scornful be cause we did not like Injuns much no how. When I say this, I don’t mean that Rooney was the one to put the quirt to the Injuns. He was overquiet on the subject. He generally was peace fullike and ca’m. He was a thinker, Rooney was, and with some schooling and a little politics would have been a great man in the city I ’low. “About this time the camp begins to get short on grub, and some four or five of the boys was sent to Medicine Lodge, across the Kansas line, with wagons to bring back a supply of necessaries. Kan sas was not a prohibition state then, and you could get most any kind of stimulant in Medicine Lodge—that is to say, they had rye and Bourbon whis ky, and I suppose they also had beer. In them days I never could see the vir tues of beer. “As I was saying, you could get about any kind of liquor you wanted in Medicine Lodge, and so we kept pretty well wet Rooney here displayed his sagacity. While we all baa forgotten all about them pesky Injuns he oomes in one day wo was to leave and puts in to the wagon about 20 of them big ro .man candles that shoot ten times, you know, each shot a big ball of yellow, red or bluish flame. “ ‘What you going to do with them Fourth of July fixings now?* we all asks, seeing as how it was getting closer to Thanksgiving. ’ “ ‘Never yon mind that,* said John, kinder winking his eye southeast. “So we all was mighty curious during the trip back to the Canadian, but sayeu nothing. A few days after we gets back them Injuns begins gathering for a an nual feast of some kind, and then one night they prepares for one -of them dances. Os course, all of the boys what could be spared wanted off ■to see the monkey business of them redskins. Then John Rooney, he called a council of war and unfolded the secret of them roman candles what he bought at Med icine Lodge. He tells all the boys, some 15 in number, to stay with him, and leads the way to the timber, where the ghost dance was going on. We all takes one of them roman candles and no one speaks a word or epughs or makes any loud signs. “ When them 800 braves was a-tearing up the ground and yelling' at the height of the dance, we gets the word from Rooney and lights up them candles simultaneous, and they begin shooting fire and brimstone into them Injuns sure enough. The boys wasn’t used to shooting off them things and was about half scared theirselves at the devilish hissing and the sparks, but themlnjuns —well, I can’t say what they thought, but it was plain how they acted. Some of ’em took to the other side of the woods, some jumped straight up, a lot went for the north fork of the Canadian, running so fast it ’nd take four men to see ’em. Stop then? Well, I guess not. They jumped right in and swum for Sear life. They never stopped to see lat the blamed fire had quit, and fel lers working on the range the other side of the fork said they saw them running the next morning when they was just starting their day’s riding. “That night’s devilment like to got ns all into trouble, though, and the njost of us discreetly struck out for Khnsas to avoid any unpleasant conse quences. But laugh—say, I never laugh ed so in my life.”—Kansas City Star. # A Good law.

GENIUS OF THE ROADSIDE. «*■ •' "" " Bow a StstesmW, Butto Prot««e Wm Helped oa Way to >*nM. “The off horse has lost a shoe from the right fore foot, ” said the ooaohman, as he drew up opposite a wayside black smith shop. “Shall I stop and have it replaced?" “Byall means, ” replied the owner of the curricle, Senator Aaron Burr of New Vork, “it is always the proper thing to keep your horses well shod, and, besides, I am only too glad of a chance to stretch my legs after so long a drive. While the smith is'busy I will stroll to the top of one of these beauti ful Ulster county hills.” When he returned half an hour later, he to glance a« the side cf a barn near the shop and saw with sur prise an accurate though hunjedly drawn charcoal picture of his curricle and horses. “Who drew that?” he inquired. “That little frouzy hsad yonder," replied the blacksmith, pointing to a . boy in homespun who was chopping wood In the dooryard opposite as if his whole mind was occupied with his task. “Halloo, my lad, ” called Bun-, and when the little fellow looked up with the air of one who has been caught in some misdemeanor he added pleasantly, “If ever you want to change your occu pation and see life, just put a clean shirt in your bundle and go to this ad dress in New York," and he crossed the road to hand the boy a slip of paper. The team was soon on its homeward way, and in a short time the incident passed from the crowded mind of Aaron Burr. Months afterward, as he sat at breakfast, a servant brought him a pack age containing a homemade clean shirt and said that a boy at the door had asked her to deliver it as an all suffi cient introduction. But "the senator could not understand its significance, so he sent for the boy, whom he at once recognized as the youthful genius of the roadside. With all his faults, Burr wa» a gen erous man at heart, and he spared neither pains nor expense to give the , youth the best of instruction in his chosen profession. From an artistio point of view the student became very successful as the great painter Vander lyn, although he lived a life of poverty. He painted portraits of Aaron Burr and his daughter, Theodosia, from which were taken the fine engravings by which we know them. He died near the spot where he drew the picture of the waiting team. His career is a noble monument to the better side of the na ture of his benefactor, a nature hot wholly devoid of sweetness and light, although darkened by frequent clouds through his mature life and finally eclipsed in the murky gloom of a purely selfish ambition.—Atlanta Constitution. GOLFING PHILOLOGY. -' ii • Derivation of Curious Tonus WhicM Be lon* to the Game. To the enthusiastic golfer the game is never out of season. Fitted with “arc tic" goloshes and a warm knitted waistcoat, heTs seen upon the links on many a day which, appears inclement to the uninitiated. Perhaps this disregard of snow and ice is natural when one comes to look up the derivation of golf ing terms. Many of the words come di rectly from the Icelandic languages, others have synonyms in Gaelic or Swedish. The tee, or little nodule of gravel or earth from which the golfer strikes off his ball, at the beginning of each link, is derived from “tia, ” an Icelandic verb signifying ‘‘ to point out. ’ ’ J Again, “golf" itself evidently comes from the Scandinavian “kolf," a dub, the Gaelic form being “colb" and the Icelandic form being “kolfr" (a clapper of a bell or bulb). The “links’* come straight from the Swedish “lynka," meaning a “twist" or “crook;" hence its application to the windings of the coast, the sandy, barren ground called “links" in Sootland. To “put” (pronounced “putt")comes from the Gaelic “put," signifying to push or throw, as when the useful “put ter" propels the golf ball from the “putting green" into the holo. The “lofter" is derived from the Ice landic “loft"—that is, shy or air—a Danish form being “loft" for ceiling or loft.—Philadelphia Inquirer. One Veteran Without • Pemton. I sat on a hill with a sergeant who knew history and horses. He remem bered Pansy, which had served 16 years in the troop and a first rate old horse then, but a d——d inspector with no soul came browsing around one day and condemned that old horse. Government got a measly |lo or something like that This ran along for a time, when ope day they were trooping up some lonely valley, and, behold, there stood Pansy, as thin as a snake, tied by a wiokieup. He greeted the troop with joyful neighs. The soldiers Asked the captain to be allowed to shoot but of course he said ho. I oould not learn if he winked when he said it The col umn wotmd over the hill, a carbtae rang from its rear, and Pansy lay dbwn in the dust without a kick. Death is better than Indian for a hone. The thing was not noticed at the time, but made a world of fns? afterward, though how it all came out the sergeant did not develop, nor was it necessary.— Frederic Remington in Harper’s Maga zine.
